Psychotherapy does not seek to remove all difficulties in life, but instead to learn to cope effectively and positively with challenges. Psychotherapy does not seek to remove difficult feelings, but to learn to be less reactive and distressed in the face of these feelings, and to integrate these feelings into our understanding of themselves.

Counselling can include - A private place to tell your story, and be listened to - Emotional support and debriefing - Identifying key internal and external supports - Seeking solutions to serious life concerns - Psychoeducation - Cognitive behavioural techniques for combating self-criticism - Basic emotional skills training – Identifying the key challenges that need to be faced for change to occur
